Good to see that everything appears to have gotten off to a good start and that jury selection is going quickly and smoothly so far.

MOO

molly hayes ‏@mollyhayes 22m22 minutes ago
Goodman now laying out logistics of trial. For ex. will run Mon-Thurs for an estimated four months. Won't sit on march break.

- Originally they had said 5 months, so they seem to have decided that things are going to go faster than that

I checked the other day and all the threads were locked with a note saying they'd re-open when the trial started.
 
I wonder how jury selection will go, considering SO many people knew him, his parents, Sharlene, church family, etc. Sometimes it's a much smaller world than we realize. I don't know any of them personally but have mutual friends and this case saturated the news all over southern Ontario. You had to be purposely NOT paying attention to not know a lot about it. (Although I realize knowledge of the case from media doesn't excuse a potential juror).

Just some random thoughts as we all wait for justice to finally be served.
 
I will be here for this trial. My daughter is planning on a career in law so she and I are hoping to go at least one time to show support for the family.
 
Wow, so they must be through the estimated 1800 for SC to come up with this figure? That was fast. MOO.

Susan Clairmont ‏@susanclairmont 9m9 minutes ago
My estimate is that 70% of jury pool are willing & able to serve on #Bosma jury.
